Chapter 166
The next morning, Everleigh left the two children to the nanny and drove to the village.
The village was located on the northwest side of Ocpeace City. It was a poor village. Because it was surrounded by mountains, it was not convenient to get there and there were no direct buses there. It took four hours to drive from Ocpeace City to the village. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Everleigh left at seven o'clock in the morning. She drove for an hour and passed by the service area of Tin Hill. Since it was still a long way to the next service area, she stopped for breakfast and went to the supermarket to buy some things.
"One meat pie and a glass of milk please. Thank you."
"That's a total of 25 dollars."
It was early in the morning and Everleigh had no appetite. She was only afraid that the journey would be too long and she wouldn't have the energy to drive if she didn't eat anything. Hence, she simply bought some things to fill up her tummy.
After finding a place to sit in the dining area, Everleigh took out her mobile phone and saw Christopher's message from ten minutes ago, along with a photo of Christopher and the villagers.
Christopher asked her, "This place is beautiful. When will you arrive?"
Everleigh replied while eating, "It's still early. I should arrive in the afternoon. Please don't be too flirty. Don't flirt with the girls in the village. I won't clean up the mess for you."
"Am I that kind of person?"
Seeing this sentence, Everleigh couldn't help but laugh. When she was about to reply, she suddenly heard a noise in the distance.
The man's alert scream echoed in the large service hall. "Hmm? Madam, what's wrong?"
"What happened?"
"It seems that someone has fainted."
The sound of discussion came from the next table and Everleigh heard it all.
Everleigh looked up and saw that the people in the dining area were moving towards the front. Through the gaps in the crowd, she clearly saw a white-haired old lady holding a middle-aged man's arm and slowly falling to the ground.
Everleigh's expression became tight. Seeing that there were more and more people gathering around, she ran over immediately with her mobile phone.
At this moment, the old lady, Helen Scott, had fallen at the feet of the middle-aged man in black. The man did not dare to touch Helen at all. He stepped back a few steps and tried to explain to the people around him, "I don't know her. I just came in to go to the bathroom, but this lady suddenly grabbed me and that's it."
"Excuse me, excuse me, I am a doctor." Everleigh pushed through the crowd, glancing at the man in black, then quickly knelt down on the ground to check on Helen who was lying on the ground.
Helen's hair was white and she was at least 70 years old. She had collapsed at the feet of the man in the black T-shirt. Her face was purple, her head was covered in sweat and her right arm was twitching.
Everleigh held her shoulder and had her lie flat on the ground. She stretched out her hand to check Helen's neck and felt cold sweat on her hand. Her eyes immediately narrowed and in the next second, she immediately undid the two buttons on Helen's shirt.
Everleigh took out a bottle of Quick Acting Heart Relief from her bag and stuffed one into Helen's mouth. Everleigh held her chin, trying to get her to swallow it while she turned around and said, "Please give way to maintain air circulation around us."
The people around looked at each other and stepped back consciously. In the middle of the hall, Everleigh and Helen, who fainted, acted as the heart of the circle.
Everleigh had no time to care about anything else. At this time, Helen was unconscious and it was difficult for her to breathe.
Everleigh held Helen's nose immediately. She took a deep breath and leaned over to perform artificial respiration.
The people around were shocked and many people took out their mobile phones to take photos.
Artificial respiration was a compulsory course for medical staff. Ordinary people would also learn this course when they learned first aid. However, there were not many chances to use it in real life and the onlookers also found it strange.
After doing artificial respiration several times, the expression on Helen's face slowly eased. Her fluctuating chest gradually calmed down and she gradually regained consciousness. She looked at Everleigh in confusion and asked, "Where am I?"
Everleigh's eyes lit up. She slowly let out a sigh of relief and comforted her saying, "It's alright. You are in the service area now."
Hearing this, all the people around breathed a sigh of relief. No one knew who took the lead to clap but there was a round of applause in the hall.
The security personnel of the service area rushed to maintain order and evacuate the crowd.
Because Helen had not fully recovered yet, Everleigh asked the security guard to help and arranged for Helen to rest in the lounge of the service area. She then dialed the emergency number.
Outside the lounge, the line was quickly connected.
Everleigh said, "This is the service area of Tin Hill. There is a person who suddenly fainted. Female. She is about seventy-five years old and has no relatives with her. She is sweating, her skin is wet and cold and she has difficulty breathing. During the attack, her pulse was weak and irregular. It was my initial estimation that she had a sudden heart attack."
No one knew what the person on the other end of the line had asked, but Everleigh replied, "I am a doctor of the cardiology department of the city hospital. I am currently giving the patient emergency treatment. There is no threat to life at present, but you must send someone as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you here."
After hanging up the phone, Everleigh looked at the time. It would take more than an hour for the ambulance to set off from Ocpeace City.
The sound of the door opening came from behind. It was the staff member who had just helped Helen settle in the lounge. When he saw Everleigh, he showed a reluctant expression and said, "Miss Trevino, this old lady has a strange temper. I can't get any information about her family and they can't be contacted."
Everleigh frowned, thinking that Helen was already so old, and it was a rare thing for her to be alone in the service area. Everleigh was convinced that it was because she had some conflict with her family.
"It's fine. I'll go ask about it."
After that, Everleigh pushed the door open and went in.
There was a simple folded bed in the lounge. Helen was resting on the bed and her facial expression was much better than before. When she heard the door open and saw Everleigh come in, her gaze softened considerably. "I remember you. Did you save me?"
Everleigh smiled and went over with a glass of water from the table. She pulled a chair and sat down beside the bed. "Yes, it was me. Have some water, please."
Helen took the water. Because she had no strength in her hand, she could only take a sip of water with Everleigh's help. After drinking the water, she didn't forget to thank Everleigh, "If it wasn't for you today, I would not have made it."
"It's not that serious." Holding the glass, Everleigh checked Helen's pulse and said, "Well, it's a lot calmer now. Keep your mood stable and breathe slowly. I have called an ambulance and it will arrive soon."
After that, Everleigh suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, how did you come here? Do you have the contact information of the people who traveled with you? I have to tell them that you are safe."
"No need, I drove here on my own." Helen waved her hand and she looked very calm.
"Drove? By yourself?" Everleigh's eyes widened.
